Default Adjusting front/rear camber, will it throw off toe settings?

If I change the front camber, will it cause the toe settings to change? I also need to adjust my rear camber, will this mess any of my recently set toe settings. I need to adjust my front camber down to -1.8º from -2.3º on the right side and the left side from -1.7º to -1.8º. If I plan to autocross, what would be a good rear camber setting for the rear if I adjust front to -1.8º? BTW: My front toe was 0.38" in; I was wondering why I saw tire wear after 300 miles..lol.

damn...ah well...I guess I'll have to get it re-aligned after I put the kit on. $100 down the drain.

Find a good tire shop (make sure they know how to do alignments well!), and get their lifetime alignment. It pays for itself after 2 aligments. I found a good ExpertTire in my town for this; I'm just worried when I move that the guy doing alignments won't know what he's doing.

Thanks RJ. I am going to order one soon if I can't find a place that does lifetime.
